Monash Arts Overseas Study Programs

The increasing popularity of our short-term programs is a reflection of the quality of student experiences. In many cases our academics have collaborated with their colleagues from around the world to deliver programs that access the expertise and resources of specialists who are international leaders in their field.

Our short-term programs range from geography on the Italian Rivera to genocide studies in Rwanda, language programs in Japan, history tours of Gallipoli and a range of intensive courses at our centre in Prato, Italy.

Short-term study programs vary in length but generally run between 2 and 8 weeks.
